I'm just saying Fleury didn't deserve the start IMO. Even though he was overused last season from carrying the team. He did had a good regular season.

Not me. After signing Vokoun then telling everyone "but Fleury's still our #1" it would've send some crazy mixed signals to start Vokoun over Fleury in the opener. Bylsma decided to show confidence in Fleury by going with him to kick things off.

Every single account of the game I've heard indicated that it was a sloppy game and the Penguins looked lost. Sounds exactly like last year's series. I don't care if Vokoun let in a couple of bad goals, the loss is on the skaters. I can confidently say that without having seen it.
